What is Drainage Area ?
A drainage area is the total surface area, upstream of a point on a stream, where the water from rain, snowmelt, or irrigation which is not absorbed into the ground flows over the ground surface, back into streams, to finally reach that point.
How to Calculate Drainage Area for Peak Rate of Runoff?
Drainage Area for Peak Rate of Runoff calculator uses Drainage Area = ((Peak Rate of Runoff for Burkli Zeigler*455)/(Runoff Coefficient for Burkli Zeigler*Intensity of Rainfall in Burkli Zeigler*sqrt(Slope of the ground)))^2 to calculate the Drainage Area, The Drainage Area for Peak Rate of Runoff formula is defined as the the land area from which surface runoff is collected and drained through a common outlet, such as a river, stream, or drain. Understanding the drainage area is fundamental for hydrological studies, flood management, and designing efficient drainage systems. Drainage Area is denoted by AD symbol.
